As a local family business, we’re grateful for the freedoms and opportunities we have because of those who served before us. Today we honour the ANZACs and all who have worn the uniform with courage and dignity.
Lest we forget.

🐍 BROWN SNAKE ON SITE — AND NO, IT WASN’T ON THE JOB SHEET 🛠️

Today’s plumbing adventure took a sharp left turn when Marcus and the team discovered a very uninvited apprentice… a brown snake casually supervising the job like it owned the place.

Marcus reckons he’s “fine”, but the speed at which he levitated backwards suggests otherwise. The boys scattered faster than a flexi hose on its last day.

Meanwhile the snake just sat there like:

“Yeah mate, I’ll handle the pipes — you lot take five.”

Don’t worry, everyone’s safe, the snake has moved on, and Marcus has now added ‘wildlife wrangler’ to his résumé (purely for dramatic effect).

Just another day at Marcus Ruthen Plumbing & Excavations — fixing pipes, dodging snakes, and questioning our career choices.

🌟 Happy Father’s Day 🌟

Today we celebrate the dads, uncles, pops, brothers, and every incredible person who steps into the role of father with love, strength, and unwavering support. Whether you’re guiding little hands, lending a listening ear, or showing up in quiet, powerful ways—thank you for all that you do.

And to one very special dad—Marcus—this one’s for you.

You might know Marcus as your trusted local plumber, always ready with a solution and a smile. But to us, he’s so much more. He’s our rock, our biggest cheerleader, and the kind of person who lifts others without ever asking for recognition. Marcus brings grit, heart, and humour to everything he touches. He’s the kind of dad who shows up, not just for his family, but for his community—and we’re endlessly grateful for the strength, loyalty, and warmth he brings to our team.

Happy Father’s Day, Marcus. You embody what this day is all about.

From all of us—thank you to the father figures who make the world a better place, one caring moment at a time.💙

🚿💥 When your hot water tank bursts and you call a country plumber… you don’t just get Marcus, you get the whole farm crew.

Today’s repair team included one human, three curious calves, and zero respect for personal space. 🐄🔧

They didn’t fix much, but they offered moral support, chewed on the toolbox, and supervised with great enthusiasm.

Life of a country plumber: part tradesman, part livestock whisperer.

Today, Victoria mourns the loss of two Police officers who tragically lost their lives in the line of duty in Porepunkah. Their courage and commitment to protecting our communities will never be forgotten.

Some of our dearest clients and friends are members of the police force, and we are deeply grateful for their ongoing service and sacrifice. Our thoughts are with Victoria Police and all its members as they navigate this devastating moment. 💙
